PNW Components Cascade Dropper Post, 125/150/170mm Travel, External Routing

Product Information

It still has the German brand’s auto-refresh mechanism, to ‘bleed’ itself and prevent sponginess, along with its super-slim collar.

There are two travel styles for dropper posts: those that have fixed height settings where the post stops (20mm down, 75mm down, etc), and those that do not, often referred to as stepless or infinitely adjustable.One of the longest posts on the market, the Fall Line is light and loaded with great features, but we’ve had irritating leakage issues with our samples. Although the Ascend II is impressively cheap, it’s almost identical to Race Face Aeffect-R and Syncros post. If you’re after a bargain, then, look no further.

It uses a typical hook-ended actuator lever design, but cable clamping and cutting are done at the lever end, making it a much easier process. The Connectamajig hydraulic coupling hose allows initial set-up without the need to bleed the systemBecause the Duncan Dropper 2.0 comes in solely one diameter (31.6mm), it’s only possible to fit it to bikes with a 31.6mm or larger (by adding a shim) diameter seatpost. Further restrictions in available travel options also limit choice. A dropper enables you to move the saddle out of the way when descending or riding technical terrain. Ian Lean / Specialized
